Cyclone Nisarga LIVE tracking: Cyclone Nisarga is set to make landfall in Maharashtra today not too far from Mumbai. The state government has stepped up efforts to prepare for the impact. Several parts of the state, including Mumbai, have been advised to get prepared to handle any emergency that may arise. If you are living in the state and want to keep yourself constantly updated then one platform can help you track the path and trajectory of the cyclone.

Called Windy.com, the platform uses animated visualisation to show the live status of the cyclone. The platform doesn’t only provide the current status but also shows the entire trajectory of the expected path of the cyclone. The app has a slider at the bottom which could be adjusted to find out the path of the cyclone at different times. The platform can be useful for people in the affected areas.

Cyclone Nisarga, hovering over the Arabian Sea 190 km from Mumbai, is likely to make landfall at the coastal town Alibaug near the megapolis between 1 pm and 4 pm on Wednesday, a senior IMD official said.

"Nisarga is 140 km away from Alibaug and 190 km from Mumbai. It is likely to cross with an intensity of a severe cyclonic storm close to south of Alibaug, India Meteorological Department (IMD) Mumbai's deputy director general of meteorology K S Hosalikar said.He claimed the Nisarga cyclone was over Arabian Sea at 0530 hrs as of today which is 165 km ssw of Alibagh and 215 km ssw of Mumbai.

Heavy rainfall is expected in coastal districts of the state. The department has predicted the storm will have an impact on areas in North Maharashtra, Pune, Ahmednagar, where rainfall is expected. It said kuccha houses, trees, electric poles may fall as they may not be able to withstand the speed of the storm.

The state government authorities have already asked people in vulnerable areas to shift to safer places. Bracing for the impact of what is being billed as the most severe cyclone to hit Mumbai, the Central Railway (CR) rescheduled special trains and many airlines also cancelled their Mumbai operations. The CR has rescheduled, diverted and regulated some trains on Wednesday, an official said. These include five special trains departing from Mumbai. Three special trains will be either diverted or regulated enroute, he added.
